Life-Ruining Tattoos That Make You Want Off This Planet
The stories are legendary… errors made when selecting tattoos under duress, heightened emotions, weakened relationships, or substance influence. But in the end, you alone are responsible for your ink. What follows is a gathering of standout people that boast tattoos that everyone will take pictures of… just for all the wrong reasons.
#25 Star Light, Not Too Bright
The undeniable top of the bad idea list goes to this winner, whose drunk-night-out ended with a fantastically poorly done night sky scattered across her mug. Clearly already on the phone planning its future removal before the morning’s end, her facial ink proves the hard truth: when in doubt, try it out with a Sharpie first. On the bright side, at least for the people around her the stars will be out every night. I wonder if there are any hidden constellations? probably not, that would take too much thought.

#24 When Millennials Take it Too Far
What we have here is a millennial that decided to get their love for all things avocado tattooed on them for life. Apparently, simply posting pictures on Instagram of their avocado toast or letting everyone know how much they love guacamole just isn’t enough. Nope, they have to get it tattooed, and not just anywhere, but their armpit. This tattoo is a real home-run. I hope whoever got this is gets free guacamole for life at Chipotle after this bold move. I didn’t know it was possible, but this person may have just managed to make avocados unappealing. Thanks, man.

#23 Got My Order?
There’s a fine line between loving something and being totally and completely delusional. At this point it, seems that Stian Ytterdahl from Norway is the latter. Yes, that is a tattoo of his McDonald’s receipt, which doesn’t look like a terrible order if I knew Norwegian. Nevertheless, there are few food orders in this life that anyone should get tattooed onto their body in such a visible spot. If that isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is. Go get yourself a Big mac Stian, you’ve earned it, but refrain from getting that receipt tattooed on you please.

#22 Marilyn, What Happened?
We can’t be totally sure who this is. It appears as though it started off as Marilyn, but then something went horribly, horribly wrong. Maybe some anti-itch cream, perhaps? She looks like a decomposing corpse that was left out in the sun. Was this the intent? Hopefully not. Either way, it takes a certain type of person to want to have this overused picture of Marilyn Monroe tattooed on them for life, and something tells tells me this isn’t their only horrendous tattoo. More likely than not, they don’t even really know who Marilyn Monroe is other than “she’s hot”.

#21 Time of Whose Life?
Oh man, where do we even start? The band, or the tattoo? There’s nothing wrong with having a favorite band, there’s even nothing wrong with even being obsessed with your favorite band. However, there is something wrong with getting a full-blown back tattoo of your favorite band that looks like it was drawn by an 8th grader. If the tattoo didn’t say Green Day in its questionable tramp stamp location, who knows what this tattoo is about. I hope it looked better on paper and that this was a huge mess-up, because if not, there are no words for this guy or his love for Green day.

#20 What Power?
Alright, there are a couple of potential explanations behind this tattoo. The first is that this is the most ironic tattoo of all time, and this man chose this specific tattoo as an insult to the white power regime. The other is that he’s completely blind and somebody played a very bad joke on him. Not sure which one is worse. Needless to say, this is a very questionable tattoo no matter what its meaning is and he could get into trouble from multiple different groups walking around with that thing exposed.

#19 1 Fan
Think she reps Team Meek Mill or Team Drake? What a classy way to show support for your favorite hip hop artist. Surely, Drake himself has stumbled upon this on the internet and his response was probably along the lines of, “Oh sweetie, no. C’mon now, what were you thinking?” A similar reaction to anyone that has had their day ruined by stumbling upon this definition of a mistake. There’s only one thing that could make this tattoo worse, if it got infected, which it looks like its well on its way to being. Maybe Drake will pay for its removal so he doesn’t have to live with the guilt of you doing that to yourself.

#18 At Arm’s Length
Not even really positive what’s going on here except that tattoo is awful. Pretty sure that’s the screen you see when your computer is about to randomly shut down and you lose everything you were just working on. This usually makes people want to punch their computer screen, but not this guy, he’d rather tattoo it all over his right arm so he can be reminded of it every second of his life. One would think that with a tattoo like that, this guy may not have the brain capacity to even turn on a computer, let alone restart it, which is why he had to get it tattooed on him.

#17 Feeling Blue
When your Blue Man group tryouts don’t go as planned, you might be in the mood to do something crazy, like this guy did. Trust him though, it’s a Japanese traditional so it’s totally chill! Although we’re focusing on the tattoo, the eye piercing simply cannot be ignored. Did you lose and eye and this is your form of eye-patch? If so, that’s kind of cool, if not, you’re weird. This was probably the guy in college who said he wasn’t looking for a relationship because he feared commitment but then went and did something like this during his mid-life crisis.

#16 Heavenly Playlist
And on the 8th day, Jesus came down and shared the gift of Nickelback, Three Days Grace, and Avril Lavigne with all of us sinners. Who knew that Jesus had such a righteous taste in music. All of the greats are here, if only he knew how to spellGwen Stefani right. Also, this tattoo needs to be updated ASAP, they left out The Jonas Brothers, Good Charlotte, and even Disturbed, but hey, at least they got to see Nickelback and Gwen twice In all seriousness, I hope this tattoo is either in a very hidden spot or at least a joke, because if not, this individual probably had a very rough young adult life.

#15 It Is A Bad Tattoo
Poor Bon Jovi, this “supposed” fan is tarnishing his name and music. Not only is the handwriting atrocious, but the grammar is so wrong it’s funny, and he doesn’t even know Bon Jovi’s real name. I wonder who’s at fault here, the amateur tattoo artist or the fool that likes this Jon Bovi character a little too much? Either way, it doesn’t take that much effort to turn your head to make sure everything is going smoothly. However, something tells me this guy couldn’t bare to watch or just couldn’t t even see through his tears.

#14 Live Life
Yes, you may only live once, but do you life twice? That’s the real question. Safe to say, this is another disaster that could have been avoided if this unfortunate soul had above a second grade reading level, or knew how to use google. I hope that they don’t intend on being a teacher or any profession where their arms might be exposed for that matter. At least the acronym “YOLO” is still right, which is probably what inspired this piece of artwork in the first place.

#13 Down For The Cause!
Sometimes once you’re inked up past the point of no return, you can get away with some crazy tattoos with no questions asked. However, when your skin is as clear as they day you were born and you get “Jeb 4 Prez” tattooed on your neck, it might raise some eyebrows. Is this for Jeb Bush, maybe a friend running for senior class president? I guess it doesn’t even matter. All this guy can do is hope that some serious beard growing genes run in his family or that tattoo removal technology skyrockets ASAP.

#12 I Mustache-You About Your Tattoo
Something tells me that this isn’t actually a tradition that his entire family participates in. If it is, that must be quite the Christmas card. But hey, at least this isn’t his only face tattoo. He also has a pretty star, and even what looks like a filled in rectangle on his temple. All kinds of good decisions here. It’s tattoos like this that make me wonder if tattoo artists have any form of moral compass to maybe suggest that he should sleep on it before he decides to get something like this done to his face.

#11 Hot Dog Fonz
The Happy Days reference we get, but what’s with the lack of love for the ketchup bottle? These must be the hot dog purists who believe mustard is the only appropriate condiment for the weenies. I’m sure that at one point in time, this tattoo seemed like a brilliant idea to this hot dog lover, but sometimes you need to think outside of the moment and into the future. is your future wife (if you find one) really going to be okay with you sporting that at the neighborhood pool party, or is it still going to be funny in 20 years? Probably not.

#10 Nightmare Fuel
What better way to celebrate a bad decision then by tattooing the result of one. Britney’s mega-meltdown, umbrella-swinging, head-shaved freak out memorialized for the ages. The acne in her teeth is primo, too! This tattoo isn’t just bad, it’s downright horrifying. This is the stuff nightmares are made of. This is the kind of thing crawling around in the seventh circle of hell while you’re forced to shave it’s head alongside Judas for eternity. While everyone else is startled by this tattoo, do you look at your skin and smile? I bet you do.

#9 I Like Turtles (A Little Too Much)
No better way to wake up every morning than having a surprised Michelangelo on your honker. He looks equally as surprised to be on this guy’s nose than people who first see this tattoo. At least the tattoo is kind of done well? Okay no, there’s nothing redeemable about this tat. Who even likes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anymore? What are you five? You get one face, and you did this to it. I’m sure your mother is really thrilled about your life choices.

#8 Demon or Grandpa?
The rule that tattoos look bad later in life is on full display here. So many questions about this one. The man himself, plus his creepy tattoos, make it seem like he’s about to grow some horns and wings only to fly off into the night sky. Is that a depiction of hell on his forehead? I wouldn’t be surprised. Also, lets not forget about the classy face swastikas or the random circle tattooed around his eye. Well, on the bright side, this guy looks like he’s in prison, probably for the better. More time for him to add onto his prison tat collection.

#7 Your Body is Definitely Not A Wonderland
How do I put this nicely? Pass. There’s so much wrong with this picture I don’t even know where to star. I can tell you one thing, there will be no eating or drinking taking place here. it’s sad to tattoo cakes and sundaes on your body, it’s sadder to have them on your love handles. In practical terms, she’s simply demonstrating where the extra calories from those foods will end up on her body. On second thought, are those even love handles? I can’t tell, which goes to show that maybe there has been too much cake and sundaes pumped into this bod.

#6 Bike Wreck
It appears someone has not got the training wheels off their tattoo gun just yet. Hopefully that was just a test run with Sharpie or something. Nevertheless, nowadays, this tattoo could be a hipster’s dream. Rugged yet simple, a great discussion piece to spark up any conversation at your local gin bar. Whoever got this done also probably has a minimalist arrow running down their wrist, or an infinity sign on one of their fingers. They also probably spend their evenings at “secret” art shows with equally as impressive art pieces as their tattoo.

#5 Show Us Your Tat
I see what you did there, bullring nipple piercing dude. Two birds with one stone, I like your style man. Knocking out the nipple and septum piercing at once, an incredibly trendy move. In all honesty, considering everything that’s going on in this picture right now, I’m going to say you’re one of the few people that could probably pull that one off. I’m sure your eyes are rolling in the back of your head behind those shades, but we hope to see more of your progressive tats soon.

#4 Chuck Taylor Forever
Either this person really, really, REALLY likes red high top converse, or they’re in the middle of the process to becoming a real-life cartoon character. No matter what the answer is, this tattoo was a mistake. They could’ve just gotten a simple All-Star logo somewhere on their body to commemorate this timeless show, but no, they had to actually have it tattooed to their foot. Also, if you’re going to go this far, you might as well get the whole shoe tattooed.half of it is missing so it looks dumber than it already is.

#3 Eye Want A New Mom!
You know a tattoo is a fail when even a newborn baby recognizes how bad it is. This infant can’t seem to tear his or her new eyes away from the circle that’s permanently inked around Mom’s eye. That’s a real look of shock there! To be fair, this new mom probably looks a lot better when she’s fully made up and in character, but her tat really doesn’t seem to fit into this photo of an otherwise beautiful and natural scene. I bet the baby is a little nervous about whether it will be expected to get a matching tattoo.

#2 You’ll “Roo” the Day
Nothing like some good old-fashioned Australian patriotism. Once again, this person could have gotten their point across so much more effective and tastefully if they had just kept it simple or maybe asked for a little bit of advice from a friend. I mean, come on, the two tattoos are two completely different shades, and those stars are so 90’s. Perhaps, the most hilarious part of this masterpiece is not the kangaroo, nor the love of pointed emblems, but that the shape of the stars actually, just barely, resembles Australia. If you squint, mate.

#1 The Disabled Nipple
This is one messed up decision. The subject and location are both questionable. I’m going to assume this guy is in a chair himself and isn’t making fun of others who are. But maybe I’m giving him too much credit and he’s a jerk who makes fun of handicapped people. Why the nipple man, why? There are no many other locations on a person’s body that could make this a meaningful tattoo. Now, not only do people have to see your thoughtlessly placed tattoo, but now they’re eyes will be diverted to your nipple, jerk.
